Give the Gift of Volunteering

The Entertainment Industry Foundation’s iParticipate campaign is using celebrities and TV networks to help spread the word about the importance of community service. 

The goal is to mobilize as many Americans as possible to volunteer their time and resources in the areas of education and children, financial security, well-being and community health, environmental conservation, and support for military families.

iParticipate has numerous volunteer opportunities available.  You can also list a volunteer opportunity on their site.  Find out more at http://www.iParticipate.org.
